The Spanish artist Jorge Jimenez (1986-) has always wanted to draw, but not necessarily to draw comic books. Like many artists before him, he kept drawing and drawing and showing his work at local Comic Cons, until one day his work drew the attention of Eduardo Alpuente, who since has become his agent. Since 2010, Jorge Jimenez has worked in this fabulous world that is the comic-books’ universe.

He has started his career by drawing the comic-book adaptation of the blockbuster movie Transformers 3 for IDW in 2011. Then he has joined DC Comics, first to draw the digital comic book Beyond the Fringe, written by Joshua Jackson, then to draw the 11th season of Smallville (2012-2013). Jorge is a big fan of Superman. He has discovered the man of steel with the first Superman movie with Christopher Reeves when he was 4 or 5. Unlike the other children, he wasn’t impressed by the powers of Superman, rather by his integrity and his honesty. The series’ success led DC to confide in him some episodes of Superboy (2014) and to sign an exclusivity contract. Just before the contract, Jorge drew one single episode of Amazing X-Menfor Marvel, DC direct concurrent.

The true public’s acknowledgment to Jorge came with the series Earth 2 : World’s End (2014-2015), then with Earth 2 : Society (2015-2016). Once again, his freedom lets Jorge redesign some iconic characters.

2016 marks the realisation of Jorge‘s long last dream. With DC reboot Rebirth, DC has launched a new Superman series. Patrick Gleason and Jorge Jimenez have been chosen to draw Superman’s adventures. In charge of redesign Jonathan Kent, Superman’s son, Jorge lays his 2017 series out, Super Sons. It’s both a huge responsibility and an amazing chance that is to design the costume of the new Superboy.
